The original Simpsons arcade game was absolutely a ball to play through and took many hours of my life away. EA has decided to resurrect that hit game in an iPhone version but makes a bunch of changes to give players a completely new experience to play through. The formula is still the same beat'em up style that was in the first one, but this time you are following Homer's journey.

The game features crisp graphics and cameos by almost every Simpsons character I can think of. Throughout the game players can pick up different objects to use as weapons and even uncover tagteam specials such as having Bart jump on your shoulders flinging slingshot projectiles. One disappointment in the game was that I could only use Homer. The old game allowed for multiple characters but this one limits players to just one.

Overall, the game played very well and was definitely a kick back to the old 80's game that started it all. The game is priced in the medium range and might actually be worth it for many of you. If you are a Simpsons fan, this is a definite buy. For those of you who still aren't sure, try out the old 80's game and you will get a pretty good taste of what this one is like.
